I will fall in love with you, over and over again (will be rewritten! Check the ending for more info!)
Synopsis: As the world comes to an end, you both know you will ALWAYS find each other. A Damian Wayne x Reader story
They say first impressions matter, well apparently they don’t according to Damian Wayne, for when you first met him at the tower with the others, he didn’t care in regards to who his supposed teammates were.
He was rude, he cared less for boundaries if it meant getting information, he refused to even try working with the rest of the team and he would gladly do anything to get under anyone’s skin if he was feeling particularly spiteful.
A part of you couldn’t really bring Jaime for his outburst towards Damian, he was kinda being a prick during the duel, but you weren’t so cruel that you wished for him to actually die, thank Raven for her powers and all.
While the two of you were always together due to age and all, the both of you couldn’t ever get along, when you prodded him a bit in regards to his past after asking Raven, he wasn’t only suspicious towards Raven and her powers, but to you.
Still, it didn’t help that you guys who were to be teammates would squabble like kids, so when Kory thought about going out for some fun, you would try to use this opportunity to atleast settle some sort of tension, and you could see he was more than a weapon he claimed he was.
Sure he was still someone stoic through it all, but he seemed willing to put his guard down after showing Garfield up at dancing. He would tease you, you would tease him, but he was laughing not with malice, but childishness, something that you thought wasn’t possible with someone like him.
Eventually while you both weren’t “friends”, you both had common ground with each other. You could occasionally joke with one another, you teased him when Raven gifted him Titus, though he pretended to act confused he obviously had a soft spot.
Even when things were distant and the titans weren’t around doing work, the two of you kept in touch. Just a text here, a meetup there.
Things seemed to be going alright aside from Raven having problems with her gem, Kory was now living in Dicks apartment, Damian knows how to work with others now, and the team was growing, surely nothing could go wrong.
And then the world came crashing down.
The meeting was a protocol in your mind, surely the Justice League would figure it out.
So why were creatures coming continuously, why were your comrades dead, ripped, torn shredded.
Why did you just witness Kory sliced in half with her guts out?
Why did you just witness a few friends get mauled?
Why did you witness Superboy get his neck snapped?
Why did you have to witness your leader Dick, get stabbed by those creatures?
Why did you witness Damian get thrown off the edge into the water below?
Everything was supposed to be fine.
Why couldn’t the justice league do more?
Why did Raven try to end it all?
These were cruel questions that spun in your mind you knew that.
But wasn’t that what the world has become? A reminder of cruelty?
Damian left a while ago, how he survived you aren’t aware but your glad he did, he came to see if any of his comrades survived, he came to see you.
He asked you to go with him into leading the League of Assassins, but how could you possibly lead anything after this?
He seemed sad with your refusal, perhaps he was disappointed that he couldn’t have someone as strong as you around?
(If only he knew there was no strength left)
You wouldn’t see him again for a while, you, Raven, Kent, Constantine and others would make the trek to get to Darkseid, to end this madness once in for all.
——————————————————————————
When you met him again there was relief.
When Raven woke up, and you her and Kent saw Dick who was revived in the Lazarus Pit, you felt numb and grief
When you heard him call Dick “brother” you found more grief, because not only did Damian acknowledge it out loud, but that’s who he was to everyone; a brother to rely on
When he confessed why he wanted you by his side, that he had feelings, there was warmth
Everytime he would touch you, to hold your hand, a touch in your arm, any sort of contact, there was ease
When he fought against Batman who was under Darkseids control, completely merciless, you felt fear
When he took the beam and burnt up you felt something shatter.
You couldn’t stop crying, because one of your last tethers to sanity was gone.
It wasn’t even the pretty type of crying, no, it was raw and ugly full of despair and madness.
You never said it to him, and not even he said it while confessing his feelings.
And it was because he was one of the last comrades Raven had, one of the last friends she had, that she could bring him back, because she couldn’t bear to lose anyone else.
Of course that also resulted in an irritated Constantine to revive but that was his problem.
She confessed to both of you earlier that the reason why she tried to stay away was because you both were in danger, her father wanted to kill you both because you were all she had.
Naturally that went away when a foe like Darkseid entered the fray, he went all out against him, and with one final sacrifice on Cyborg, it was over.
but the heroes didn’t win, not at all.
The world was basically destroyed, there was no more rotation, so the only thing that could happen was for Flash go back in time; to restart everything.
It hurt, you would never remember your comrades again, it’s like it never happened. You wouldn’t remember Dicks trust, Kory’s motherly instincts, your friends and, the feelings you had for Damian.
But with Kory basically losing most of her autonomy and feelings, Dick in a straight jacket because of his mind, and almost everyone dead, won’t it be worth it?
Was it bad that you desperately didn’t want to forget anything? That you wanted all your friends here? That you wanted everything to be okay?
You just melted in Damian’s arms, you couldn’t do this but you had to.
So when Flash made his start, you kissed him. The last thing you wanted was to feel love some way or some form.
Before the light could ingulf you both, there was one question from you.
“Do you think we can find each other again?”
He thought for a second, though not to long since the light was coming closer and closer;
“Yeah, even if we have to go through hundreds of more flashpoints, even if I have to go through a hundred more, because you are strong, you will be okay going through more, but me?”
He put his forehead on yours.
“I don’t think I’m so resistant to something like that, but I will do it.
for you a thousand times over, I will fall in love with you all over again”
And even as the light fully engulfed you, you couldn’t help but smile for the first time in a long time.
You would fall in love all over again.
And you would live a life of happiness, a life that you were both robbed of.
But just before everything would end, he whispered the final words, the words you said to him as he was burnt to a crisp back in Darkseids layer.
My phone loves to mess with me on Tumblr, so of course there are mistakes. Hope you enjoyed but the DCAMU is my tragedy and URGGHHH Damian and Raven have my heart, naturally I wanted to do a fic in regards to this. Also having the worst stomach ache but I needed to this now and thus got it out in 5 mins.
But yeah just because I’m doing an x reader fic doesn’t make me less of a Lovebirds fan because UFhahsfgdgsgs Raven and Damian made me sob at the end of the Apokolips war 😭
Damian’s development was amazing and its because of this movie series that if anyone tries to put crap on Damian because he’s “difficult” of “violent” without giving him a fair chance, they will gladly meet my hands 😊
Also you may have noticed this is titled as draft, not because it’s a legit draft but because I want to rewrite it after I rewatch the DCAMU, it’s been a long time since I have and once I do I’ll be angsty for months on end, and perhaps there are scenes that I may have forgotten that I would like to add, so stay tuned!
Also while I appreciate likes and reblogs I would thrive the most on comments for motivation!
(P.S. I need more DCAMU fics)
